Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity's Board of Directors has pledged to match all cash gifts from new and current donors, dollar for dollar, up to $120,000. Your donation will help families like the Oberts, whose lives changed forever when they were given the opportunity to purchase a Habitat home. Thanks to you, this family had an opportunity—that their hard work could lead to a better life.
"We thought that good things just didn't happen to us. Then we got our home, and I finally felt like I could nurture my children," said Tabatha Obert.

 Like other single parents, Rhonda Jones knows the best life doesn't always come easy.
Born and raised in the Twin Cities, this hardworking mom works nights -
one week on and one week off - and lives with extended family in a
crowded St. Paul home. Finances are tight, and the young mom worries
about her daughter Kajada's safety to and from school.
Several years ago, hoping to create the best life possible for herself
and her daughter, Jones set a goal to create a safe space for Kajada by
owning her own home. And now, with support from Twin Cities Habitat for
Humanity and a financial aid program called FAIM, Rhonda is only months
away from achieving her dream.

 Are you concerned about the broken housing market in the Twin Cities and aren’t sure what to do about it? We have set up this website to bring people together to explore how we can create a Twin Cities region where everyone has a decent affordable place to live. You can use it to research housing issues and news or visit our Take Action pages to connect to different ways, big and small, you can support housing in your community.
Stayed tuned for interactive learning activities to be developed on the site in the coming months. These activities will help you make sense of complex housing issues by examining questions like; Who’s affected? Are there solutions? Does this affect my neighborhood?
Building Habitat homes is only one part of achieving our vision. Our mission calls us to make decent, affordable housing for all people a matter of conscience. Creating dialog is a big step towards the solution. Please join us in learning and growing in our understanding of our community's housing challenges and how we can create solutions by visiting www.housingmatters.info
